DEATH OF REAR ADMIRAL CRAVEN
Rear Admiral Craven, U. s. N. iretired,l of
Washington, died at the Charestown navy
yard yesterday of heart disease. He was
about eighty years old. The deceased was
born in the District Of Columbia. and was
appointed midshipman from New Hamp

as commander in 1892 and as captain, in
1861, commanded the sloop Of war Brooklyn,
aud participated in the attack upon and
passage Of Forts Jackson and st. Philip, in
the Mississippi river. In this action mis-
vessel became entanged in the hulks and
RATS which sustained the chain barricade of
the river, and while in this situation re-
ceived severe fire from Fort st. Philip,
and was attacked by one of the Confederate
rams and large steamer. The latter re-
ceived hroadside from tho Brooklyn at
sixty yards so well delivered as to end the
conflict so far rs the steamer was concerned.
The ram struck the Brooklyn on the star.

perfect protection. By this time the
Brooklyn had swung clear of the obstruc-
tions and passed on up the river to assist in
the capture of New Orleans Captain
Craven continued in command of the Brook
lyn, taking part in all the engagements
along the Mississippi river, up to and in
including that of Vicksburg, until late in the

BALD KNoBBERs ON TRIAL.-The Bald
knobbers are again on trial in Ozark, Mo-,
and yesterday the courtroom was crowded
with anxious spectators. The sheriff stole
march on the popuace by announcing
that the prisoners would not be brought
from Springfield until Monday, and early
Sunday morning he stepped, with the cap.
tive regulators, from the train at Ozark.
Word soon few to their families and friends,
and the Jail was crowded with women and
children, who pressed their troubled faces
against the bars of the jail in their efforts to
get nearer. The men, accustomed to active
life, showed the effects OF their confinement
in tie narrow cells. Their bronzed faces had
assumed q peleness and their manners were
less careless Judge Hubbard opened the
court at one O'Clock on Monday. He gave
instructions to the grand jury that
they had better opportunity to in.
vestigate the acts of the Christian county
regulators than the former inquring
tribunal possessed, as the backbone Of the
organization mad been broken. Several
motions to quash the minor indictments
were filed, among them being some that had
signifed willingness to testify for the
State. At four O'Clock, while the court was
in session, wild, weird scene occurred at
the Jail. The wife of VIM. Stanley rushed
in frenzy from sick bed, and the frantic
shreks of the poor woman disturbed the
somber town as she toward the Jail with
arms outstretched, praying to heaven to
protect the innocent and save her impris-
oned husband. Her cries were taken
up by other women and children, and an
bkH io1
gazing awe.strcken at the sad spectacle.
The crazed woman exhorted the crowd for
several minutes in a most fervid manner,
and was led away exhausted. Just before
the court adjourned John Wilson threw
himself upon the mercy Of the court, plead
ing guilty TO whipping Green Walker. As
this is the first plea of guilty for a Bald
Knob assault, and there are about ninety
five similar charges pending, the decision of
the court is looked upon with the deepest
anxiety. Wilson is Baptist preacher.
